Trump attacks black female correspondents

Trump has attacked black women like House members Maxine Waters and Frederica Wilson. In the last few days, he has attacked reporters April Ryan (who he has criticized before), Yamiche Alcindor and Abby Phillip.

Trump is a bigot and a liar. He is also an opponent of the free press. Abby Phillip’s question today was very appropriate – it wasn’t stupid.

For the record, @abbydphillip is a talented, hard-working and most especially fair journalist. She asks many smart questions. Her question this morning about reining in Mueller not only was smart, it was important.

Asked about Jim Acosta, Trump brings up April Ryan, and questions the competency of a Black person for the third time in a week: "I mean, you talk about somebody that's a loser. She doesn't know what the hell she's doing."

Trump complains about disrespect then when @abbydphillip, a total pro, respectfully asks if he wants Whitaker to rein in Mueller, he says, “What a stupid question. But I watch you a lot. You ask a lot of stupid questions.” And he didn’t answer the question. But we'll keep asking.
